emotional smarts and more and
more businesses are looking for
these social skills it may be in
passing or in liking the candidate.
More is needed.
In Part II of this series I will
be addressing the topic of toxicity
specifically itself. In Part III of this
series I will address the challenges
for managers to minimize toxicity
and instead lay the groundwork for
developing what I have called the
worthplace. In this way business
will foster the best of both worlds:
efficiency and effectiveness.

The word grok [/rk/] is a
word first coined by Robert A. Heinlein for
his 1961 science-fiction novel, Stranger
in a Strange Land, where it is defined
as follows: Grok means to understand
so thoroughly that the observer becomes
a part of the observedto merge,
blend, intermarry, lose identity in group
experience. It means almost everything
that we mean by religion, philosophy,
and scienceand it means as little to us
(because of our Earthling assumptions)
as color means to a blind man. Cited
in: Wikipedia, Grok ; website: http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok. Accessed:
Monday, March 10, 2013.

that was supposed to go to 400 of
his managers. According to Neal
L. Patterson, Cerners 51-year-old
chief executive officer, a man many
described as arrogant, candid
and passionate, he was trying to
light a fire under these managers;
instead, a firestorm erupted! The
question Im sure youre asking
is, What was in that e-mail?
Instead of simply going to his 400
managers, given his anger and lack
of impulse control, in pressing the
Send button, it went to all 3,000
employees! The e-mail message
was leaked and posted on Yahoo.
Its belligerent tone surprised
thousands of readers, including
analysts and investors. In the
stock market, the valuation of the
company, which was $1.5 billion on
March 20, plummeted 22 percent in
three days. How belligerent, you
ask? Well, in the e-mail [t]here
were words in all capital letters
like SICK and NO LONGER.
There were threats of layoffs and
hiring freezes and a shutdown of
the employee gym. Patterson
listed six potential punishments if
his [supposed10] managers did not
improve performance and that hell
will freeze over before he allowed
any more employee benefits!
Besides he wanted the parking lot
substantially full from 7:30 am
till 6:30 pm every day and halffull on Saturdays!!! Heres what he
wrote:
We are getting less
than 40 hours of
work from a large
number of our K.C.based EMPLOYEES.
The parking lot is
sparsely used at 8 a.m.;
likewise at 5 p.m. As

According to the New York
Times article,11 the memo sadly
created an atmosphere of fear,
but not really specifying what
was wrong. Its the corporate
equivalent of whips and ropes and
chains, said the noted Jeffrey
Pfeffer, a professor at the Stanford
University Graduate School of
Business. It puts you at war with
your employees and with your
basic tendencies in human nature.
Some of you may be saying,
Well, he had to do something!
Perhaps. But what a mess,
emotionally and financially that he
created. The big question for many
business people after the laughter
and after this event died down a
few years ago was the important
business question: Would you
invest in Cerner knowing that
the ship was being steered by a

Ryan, an actual person, is a toxic manager. His
modus operandi, with its assumptions, perceptions
and actions create not only severe organizational
toxicity but also a severe impetus for disengagement
by employees. Walton defines a toxic organization
as one within which behaviours which poison, are
disruptive, destructive, exploitive, dysfunctional and
abusive are pervasive and tolerated.5
PART I
Sometimes it is difficult for some of us to believe what
we hear about the workplace! I think for many of us
we say that we are aware of some rough spots or
rough times in different workplaces but that if the
employee just hangs in there, he/she will get through it
all! Perhaps comforting words at times, maybe not so
very comforting for the employee! The workplace for
many is not a happy place to be and is quite stressful.
These past few years I have been privy to a number
of people who have described whats going on in
terms of relationship dynamics in their workplaces.
For me it was almost impossible to grok what they
were telling me.1 I had heard about many personal
tragedies and sufferings. A real eye-opener was the
psychopathic and/or bullying behaviour that has gone
on in organizations over the past 20 years,2 from Enron3
and others. Such behaviour creates toxic conditions
that thrive. As in any abusive personal relationship
Some of you may be thinking that the Ryan
case (above) is a gross exception. However, if you
think the above case example is outrageous, there
are many, many more case examples available in
todays workplaces. Toxicity is seen as the by-product
of organizational life when employees are devalued
through unreasonable demands, abusive behaviour,
discrimination, disruptive colleagues and change
that is poorly managed. Frost refers to these negative
tactics as confidence-sapping, esteem-draining pain6
that occur regularly as an occupational hazard.7
How about the following outrageous example
of organizational toxicity8: the date was March 13,
2001, involving the CEO of the Cerner Corporation,
based in Kansas City, Mo., and his 3,100 employees
worldwide.9 This particular CEO was very angry with
what he considered lack of caring for the organization
by employees. Hence, he drafted an e-mail memo
